I have given up all sugars or starches, so my palette has really become different from most Americans. Everything is too sweet and syrupy now and unfortunately most of the interesting new stouts are just too sweet for my taste. Although I love the initial taste you get from both the EBC Chocolate Cherry Stout and the Resurgence stouts, I can't have more than one.

I recently had a milk stout I liked a lot. Can't remember the brewery however.

Did I mention how much I love Wolaver's Alta Gracia Porter? Love!Next to that, I am a fan of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout.The sweeter the better fer me. Still working on a jar of moonshine soaked cherries that I got for the holidays.I took my annual month off from imbibing and now I'm..uh.. not.
